Japan planning to nominate Trump for Nobel Prize: White House

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is planning to nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, the White House Press has said.

It came after the two leaders met for the first time in Tokyo on Tuesday, just a few days after Takaichi was elected as Japan’s first female prime minister.

After the meeting, Takaichi told reporters through an interpreter: “In such a short period of time the world started to enjoy more peace.”

“I myself was so impressed and inspired by you Mr. President,” she said, according to Reuters.
